Honeycomb crochet

Untitled

My latest crochet project was that I decided to learn to do a more complicated cable type stitch, called the honeycomb. I found a gorgeous picture of a honeycomb stitch used on a blanket and thought I wonder what that would look like on a scarf or cowl.

Thanks to Bonnie Bay, I found a tutorial for how to do the stitch (link at bottom) and started working it up in some leftover “tardis” blue from another project. Unfortunately, the stitch is very 3 dimensional which means that it didn’t photograph well in the dark color:

However, because I had that blue and some lighter blue left, I decided to merge the two colors and make a bi colored cowl with the stitch. You can see the result (and the stitch) a bit better below:

Finally, I ran out of yarn, and decided to hook the whole thing together into a cowl. Add my new haircut and this is what you get – a light blue / tardis blue honeycomb crochet cowl.

Tardis Blue Scarf

Untitled

Completed today, via request of Marcellus, who wanted a bright blue scarf to go with his jacket. I chose Tardis blue, because I’m a Doctor Who fanatic. It’s yet another basket weave stitch scarf, because they work up fast and the texture really adds character to some of these yarns.
